They have shown part of Kavanaughs hand in the form of voter suppression

Ok, so hear me out. We all hate Kavanaugh for various reasons. Probably the most dangerous is the fact that the Republicans now have another partisan activist judge that will have a lifetime job.

So today, Lindsey Graham has announced that he will be introducing legislation that will no longer make a person a citizen of the United States. Now think about this for a second, what's one of Trumps many conspiracy theories involving illegals? Well, I'll have to help you out on that one seeing how there are so many and a guess would take to long.

One of Trumps conspiracy theories is that, "Millions of illegals vote for Democrats". Obvious BS aside, what Trump is now doing in his mind is, when 2 people come here to have a baby they get to suck out all forms of free benefits but now, their kid will actually be legal to vote. Of course everyone knows that it's a %100 fact that all immigrants vote Democratic. <---Sarcasm This will now prevent that.

You may be saying now, "Well hold on a second and slow your roll". It takes 2/3 majority of Congress or governors to change the Constitution. Well, not anymore. If the Republicans introduce new legislation that is thought to be Unconstitutional, what normally happens? Of course it will be fought in court up to the Supreme Court. Trump now 'has a guy' there to ensure any Unconstitutional Legislation that makes it to the S.C. It tips the balance in their favor, not just for this case, but for anything else that may be brought before the S.C.

I think the majority of people already figured that out though. I mean Republicans laid the entire parties reputation on the cross for Kavanaugh, why else other than 'having a guy' there to ensure votes go your way? It's just now, we are actually going to see them play their hand.
